From the Herrera brothers at Café Granja La Esperanza:
“This rich and expressive profile resurged from the ashes of our Potosi farm devastated a few years ago by a voracious fire, leaving just dust under our shoes. As always in Café Granja La Esperanza, we looked at the bright side of things and that is how we found ourselves in front of an empty space to redesign and organize our entire production facility. We adopted three dragons mechanical dryers to help us bring to life, with their fire, one of our most recognized and demanded profiles of last season. The versatility of the dragons showed us new ways of enhancing natural notes in this already beautiful profile making it richer in taste and intensity.”

About Process:

After fermentation, the coffee is move to one of the three dragons mechanical dryers for 48 hours, then moved to a solar drying facility for 15 days, until it reaches a humidity of 11%.
